WASHINGTON—Democrats in and out of Congress Wednesday reacted to the White House release of the transcript of President Donald Trump’s July 25 call to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky with the same impeachment demands they made before the document became public.

The transcript provides no evidence of Trump making a promise to Zelensky, as a “whistleblower” had claimed, or of there being any quid pro quo in return for reopening an investigation into possible corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
